This morning may you delight in the golden wisdom of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749 –1832), a German writer, playwright poet and philosopher. Enjoy these tasty morsels with your breakfast.

"Yes, to this thought I hold unswerving
To wisdom's final fruit profoundly true:
Of freedom and of life, he only is deserving,
Who every day doth master them anew."
----------
"[Words] must flow out from the heart.
And, when the soul is touched with passion's flame,
We look around and ask - Who burns the same?"
---------
"Nor past nor future now the soul employ,
The present only constitutes our joy."
----------
"It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it."
----------
Noble be man,
Helpful and good!
For that alone
Sets him apart
From every other creature
On earth.
----------
"All truly wise thoughts have been thoughts already thousands of times;
but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly,
till they take root in our personal experience."
----------
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative ( and creation).
There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills
countless ideals and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely
commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur
to help that one would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of
events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man
could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or
dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now."
